U.S. prepares for nuclear war . . .

Obviously, the United States military has a great deal of intelligence information that is not available to the public regarding the situation in the Middle East, but it is interesting to note that a secret report was provided to Congress on January 8th, 2002 which states that the Pentagon needs to be prepared to use nuclear weapons against China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria. This same report also indicates U.S. willingness to use nuclear weapons in a Arab-Israeli conflict. According to a March 9, 2002 article by the Los Angeles Times: 

The report says the Pentagon should be prepared to use nuclear weapons in an Arab-Israeli conflict, in a war between China and Taiwan, or in an attack from North Korea on the south. They might also become necessary in an attack by Iraq on Israel or another neighbor, it said.  (Read more…)

Syrian-backed Hizbullah:

“We will attack Israel at the right time and when we do, the whole of the Middle East will change.” – Hizbullah terrorist

The Mideast is on pins and needles, ready for an all-out war at any moment. Particularly worrisome is the rhetoric of the Syrian-backed Hizbullah terrorist group. According to a March 7, 2002 article in the Daily Star, “The combination of a war-mobilized Hizbullah and a frustrated Israeli Army struggling to cope with the full-scale guerilla war of the Palestinian intifada provide the elements for an ‘explosion of violence’ along the Lebanon-Israeli border, security sources warn.” 

TLDM has kept a watchful eye on any developments on the Lebanon-Israeli border, mindful of Our Lady of the Roses ominous prophecy:

"Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the Third World War."  (Our Lady of the Roses,  5-30-81)

After the Israeli Army withdrew from south Lebanon in May of 2000, the Hizbullah terrorists have seized the opportunity to install a strong military infrastructure in the border district of Lebanon, in preparations for a future conflict with Israel. Hizbullah officials have frequently referred to what they call the “coming legitimate and jihad responsibility beside our people in Palestine.”  The Daily Star also quotes from Hizbullah’s secretary-general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who last September said that they were “Getting fully ready for direct military invention from Lebanon.”  The report also indicates the immense military preparations that are currently underway:

Well-placed sources in the South have told The Daily Star that Hizbullah has stashed away a massive amount of weapons and munitions in the border district. One source referred to “truck after truckload” of weapons arriving in the south between May 2000 and December 2001. Another source said that Hizbullah has “more weapons now than they know what to do with.”

There have been reports that the aim of all these preparations has as their object the retaking of an area of Israel know as Shebaa Farms, but this may be merely a deception to draw attention aware from the real objective, an all-out assault on Israel:

The stockpiling of weapons in southern Lebanon, the continued training and psychological readiness of Hizbullah’s fighters and the drawing up of battle plans are not the actions of an organization whose sole military ambitions are limited to liberating the 25 square kilometers of the Shebaa Farms.

All we have to do now, is to finish Israeli off . . .

There are many indications that the continued terrorist activity and suicide bombers directed against Israel by the Palestinians is serving the purpose of destroying the morale of the Israeli people, in preparations for what has been termed as a “pan-Arab offensive” against Israel from all directions.  At the end of February Hizbullah’s southern commander Sheikh Nabil Qaouk referred to Israel as “down on the ground and bleeding at the political, military and security levels. All we have to do now is to finish it off.”   The pan-Arab offensive appears imminent. A long-time Hizbullah member said that “We will attack Israel at the right time and when we do, the whole of the Middle East will change.” 

In fact, Hizbullah’s secretary-general Nasrallah said in August 2001 that “When we choose to enter with all our strength on the side of this intifada, we must choose the appropriate time because the current confrontation cannot afford mistakes, not in timing, nor in strategy, nor in the size of the act.”  

The Syrian connection . . .

The collective war rhetoric of Syria over the last few years makes it plain that it will support any future assault against Israel. In a November 10, 2000 article by the Israeli newspaper “Ha’aretz: “Syria has largely placed in the hands of Hezbollah (and thereby Iran) the decision as to whether there will be a regional military confrontation along Israel's northern border.”  In a November 8th, 2000 article by the same newspaper: “Syria is willing to go to war with Israel if its interests in Lebanon are damaged, and is convinced that it could win such a war, a senior intelligence officer told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee yesterday…. “ This same article refers to the likelihood of a full-scale regional conflict:

Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz told the committee that the likelihood of a full-scale regional conflict is now greater than it has been at any time in the past several years. The senior intelligence officer said such a conflict could potentially result from two developments: an intensified conflict with the Palestinians, if they feel they are not achieving their goals through negotiations, or a crisis on the Lebanese border caused by renewed Hezbollah attacks.

The danger is not only from Syria’s support of the terrorist organization Hizbullah, but also from the potential of a direct military confrontation between Syria and Israel:

Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Moshe Ya’alon said Sunday (5-20-01) there was a possibility that the security situation on the Lebanese border could deteriorate further, and lead to Hezbollah shelling the northern cities of Israel and even an all-out war with Syria.  

Were a military confrontation to take place, Syria would use its missile brigade to fire Scud missiles, with chemical, biological, or even nuclear warheads. A Newsmax article exposes Syria’s real firepower in this area: “Syria now is able to launch nuclear or biological missiles from anywhere within its borders to anywhere within Israel, thanks to Communist North Korea's help.” (Read more…)

Last year there was a report of an intercepted arsenal of weapons, headed for Gaza to aid the Palestinian terrorists, sent by Hizbullah:

Another cause for the heightened alert is the apparent growing collusion between the Iranian-backed and Syrian-supported Hizbullah and the extremist Hamas organization in the territories. It is now believed that Hizbullah was the source of arms smuggled by sea from Lebanon to Gaza, including the arsenal captured by the Israel Navy earlier this month [May 2001].  Read more… 

The absolutely amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

WORLD  WAR  III  
Veronica . . . Our Lady now is looking down sadly. And I see She's pointing now to what looks like a map. Oh, my!
     Now as I am watchingit's a map of... oh, I can see Jerusalem, and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, my!
     And Our Lady is saying:

Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." - March 29, 1975  

ISRAEL  IN  FLAMES
Veronica - ... and there's another map.  And I see Israel, and countries about it; they're all aflame....
    Our Lady - "The wars shall increase, and the carnage shall increase, and those who are living will often envy the dead, so great will be the suffering of mankind.... When he left the Eternal Father he turned to satan, and this is his reward." - June 30, 1984

SYRIA  HOLDS  THE  KEY
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at this time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."
    Veronica - Our Lady is pointing up with Her finger, like this, to Her right side, and high above Her the sky is opening upall the clouds are floating away and the sky is opening up and I see a map of the Mideast. And then Our Lady is pointing up farther and that's another map of China and Russia. Our Lady is turning back now: She was looking upward also.
    Our Lady - "My child and My children, there are scoffers who will say there shall not be a Third World War. They do not know and cannot conceive of the plan of the Eternal Father. Be it known now that the Father has great heart for all His children, but when the sin reaches a peak only known to the Father the amount of sin among mankind, then the Father will take action." May 28, 1983 

YOU  REFUSE  TO  LOOK
Our Lady - "O My children, I warned you many years ago, I warned you in Fatima that, unless you prayed and did penance, Russia and the agents of the sickle and the hammer would go throughout the world cutting down nations and bringing death, destruction, and slavery.
   "And you, My country, America the beautiful, you are all-wise but stupid in management, for you have the picture of your coming destruction right before your face and you refuse to look." -  April 2, 1977

RUSSIA  &  CHINA
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at this time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."
    Veronica-Our Lady is pointing up with Her finger, like this, to Her right side, and high above Her the sky is opening up-all the clouds are floating away and the sky is opening up, and I see a map of the Mideast. And then Our Lady is pointing up farther and that's another map of China and Russia. Our Lady is turning back now; She was looking upward also.
   Our Lady -"My child and My children, there are scoffers who will say there shall not be a Third World War. They do not know and cannot conceive of the plan of the Eternal Father. Be it known now that the Father has great heart for all His children, but when the sin reaches a peak only known to the Father, the amount of sin among mankind, then the Father will take action. He will allow you to go upon your reprobate way until there will be few souls to save upon earth, for the others will have died in battle and also at the hands of a corrupt generation of the young." -  May 28, 1983

GATHERING  AT  PALESTINE
Veronica - And oh, oh! And over by the top of the steeple, I see Saint Francis over there, by-over the top of the church there's Saint Francis. Oh, and he's picking up this bird; He's holding the bird in his hand, the bird. The bird looks like it might have died; its very limp. And Saint Francis now is placing his hand over the bird. No, it's sitting up in Saint Francis' hand, and Saint Francis is pointing over, over to the right side. He wants me to look over the right side.
   He-oh, I see. He's pointing over, and over the right side is a map. And he said peace also will be denied the areas shown. Oh, dear! I can see Egypt, and I see, oh, Asia. Oh, I see a lot of people there; they're all marching. They look like, kind of like Chinese . . . Chinese. And oh, they're getting ready for war. They've got all these tanks . . . all these tanks. And they're all marching, the armies; there's a whole lot of them. There's so many of them! Many of them look like young children, but there's so many of them. Oh! And Our Lady said:
   Our Lady - "They are gathering their strength."
   Veronica - I know that's China, and all these kind of-I guess yellow countries. Our Lady's placing-She's writing "Y-E-L-L-O-" on the top, right over the map there. And oh, it looks like they're getting ready for an awful war or something. They're-oh, yes, they're all marching. Oh, oh. They're all dressed alike; they're very, very . . . Oh, there's women, too. There's women, too, that are marching with them, and the girls-the girls look very young; they look very young.
   Oh! Oh! Oh, now over them I see-oh-h . . . oh, it's Russia! I see Russia now is talking. Oh, they're at a big desk, a rather large desk. And that . . . umh! At the desk I can see . . . I know he's Russian. But sitting next to him . . . looks like someone I have seen before, like . . . I don't know . . . looks almost like Mr. Kissinger . . . I don't know. But he's sitting at the desk also, and it looks like they're planning; they're talking about . . . arms or support. I think there's going to be something going on. And Russia is going to . . . I think it sounds like they're going to fight. They're going to fight-oh, it's Egypt. I think they're going to go to war against Egypt and Africa. And-oh! And then Our Lady said:
   Our Lady - "Gathering at Palestine. Gathering at Palestine."
- May 30, 1973

ALREADY YOUR SONS ARE BEING SENT TO BE THERE WITH THE INVASION
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Already your sons are being sent to be there with the invasion in the Mideast. Is this what you want, My children? Can you not give your prayers and acts of reparation for those who have no one to pray for them? They are all Our sheep and We wish that they would be gathered into a holy land. The word 'holy' strikes a chord of misery, My child; I have no way to explain but to tell you, misery."  May 25, 1983

WAR  IN  THE  MIDEAST
Veronica
- There is a great war ahead. It will coincide with the war in the Mideast.  February 17, 1974
